Subject[PATCH 3.14 43/78] sched: Fix sched_policy < 0 comparison
Date
3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

commit b14ed2c273f8ab872ae4e6735fe5ab09cb14b8c3 upstream.

attr.sched_policy is u32, therefore a comparison against < 0 is never true.
Fix this by casting sched_policy to int.

This issue was reported by coverity CID 1219934.

Fixes: dbdb22754fde ("sched: Disallow sched_attr::sched_policy < 0")
